Cytochrome P450 1B1 Determines Susceptibility to Dibenzo[a,l]pyrene-Induced Tumor Formation
8 Aug 2002
Abstract excerpt
Metabolic activation, DNA binding, and tumorigenicity of the carcinogenic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon dibenzo[a,l]pyrene (DB[a,l]P) catalyzed by murine cytochrome P450 (P450) enzymes were investigated. DNA binding of DB[a,l]P in human mammary carcinoma MCF-7 and human P450-expressing Chinese hamster V79 cell lines was previously shown to occur preferentially with metabolically generated fjord region...
